HowitzER
This old dog is always trying to learn new tricks. YHC believes that a man, regardless of his age, should be able to say that he learned something new each day. New tricks can be learned from a book for sure. But they can also be learned from doing new things like running a new […]
Farewell Funyun
thursday night: had a few beers with some quality peps at the station. ☘️ shows me how to check the q schedule and it just so happens that I have the q for the morning… 🚽: “hey, you should do that stupid difficult q on the football field again”. So, I decide to do that. […]
Howitzer Returns to the Sails
Howitzer’s been meeting for months temporarily in the vast parking lot by the playground while Union Square has been under renovation. But we made our return to the sails this morning, even if the Howitzer itself hasn’t yet (completion TBD). Conditions: Muggy, but clear 0530 – Warmup – SSH x 15 IC, Windmill x 15 […]
SoCal in the rain…SoWhat (even though it rained before we started)
The rain didn’t scare us off tonight from SoCal…We had 4 Pax show for a partner ladder run. We warmed up with some Humpies, Hairy Rocketts, PicklePounders, Little Arm circles and Plank Jacks. We ran to the block pile and did two sets of ladders. First we did squats and curls, and then we switched […]
Herb Albert…not just for elevators anymore
Weather: Not hot, but humid Thang: Warmups. Standard issue with a little flair. We got into the mood with a little Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass “Spanish Flea” playing in the background. Most mock that song, but deep down they like it. Mosey 1/2 lap around parking lot. 1 merkin per parking spot to […]
Hickory by the numbers
We’re 5 years old now and still as strong as ever. No, that’s not correct. We’re much stronger than when we first started. Expansion into Burke County starts this month…..Morganton, we got our eyes on you. Still working on the men of Exodus to start an AO in SW Hickory. Something is going to work […]
I’m not crying, that’s just sweat in my eyes….
YHC pulled up to Prison Break with a few minutes to spare this AM to find Bizmark and Swinger laying on the ground, in the dark, stretching out. I hopped out and began my laps around the parking lot to try to wake up my knees (getting old is the worst!). Real soon we had […]
Vegas Sidewalk Stroll
YHC noticed that few, in any, workouts made much use of the Mount’s extensive sidewalk system, typically opting for the various roads, parking lots, and lawns strewn about the AO like Legos after a sibling scuffle (talking about FLOTUS, not my 2.0’s). With sidewalks as the focus, YHC printed out a few exercises and threw […]

Table Rock 50K…an introspective
Monday am: Body won’t let me forgot what I put them through yesterday. Calves, feet, butt, and back all feel like I’ve been in a car wreck. These will heal. My pride will, but it’s going to take a bit longer to do so. An ultra marathon is nothing to sneeze at. I’m super proud […]
